From the dangers of putting teenagers on antidepressants to the debate over whether you can be both healthy and fat, we shine a spotlight on what we learned last year about our bodies, our minds, and our health

From Adam Gopnik’s never-ending dinner argument to a meditation on the science of loneliness, today we look at family, relationships, and all the wonderful and weird ways we find—and express—love
